inspiring happy thoughts

Have you noticed that one of the great things about art is its ability to let us feel something in an instant? Somehow we automatically respond to a shape, a colour, a structure, a mood.

To quote the great master Henri Matisse:‘what I dream of is an art balance of purity and serenity, devoid of troubling or disturbing subject matter, an art that could be a soothing calming influence on the mind something like a good armchair that provides relaxation from physical fatigue.’

Like Matisse, I offer the viewer to feel inspired, happy or calmed by the art available here. Enjoy.
